  1. Brookshire's fried chicken was a we just left church get in the car we're going to driving meal two or three times a year.
  2. Is there anyone on the Chester side of Chester's vs Krispy Fried for gas station fried chicken? I ate at the one that was in La Grange a ton growing up when we traveled down to the coast to see family.
  3. Not a nado, but not good if that continues for the Southern portion of the Metroplex.
  4. It's already time for the Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl?
  5. Nice Taco Casa ad at the rodeo. It really ties the arena together in authenticity.
  6. You overestimate 1.) The average American's geographical knowledge 2.) The average American's ability to logically see "Mexico Murders!1!1" and not connect that to the entire country and possibly The Valley too just to be safe. I was heading down to Oaxaca around the time of the killings/kidnapping in Matamoros and had 2 different people ask me if I was going to cancel my trip.
  7. Not on the Switch, but after playing it on the Series S/X I feel like it would be difficult to play in handheld mode.
  8. Binghamton? It's a school I respect for sure, but I don't consider it on the level of the rest of those listed here for that "oh you went to ____, nice!" factor.
  9. I grew up in the SBC and have a very typical family connection to the church (hell Ronnie Floyd married my parents when he was a young preacher) in that I am WASPy as hell and from a relatively monied family in a monied church. The values in our particular large church in the 90s/00s was absolutely about appearance and a large part of that appearance came from the political belief in American exceptionalism and white exceptionalism (not expressly of course). The fall of the SBC is interesting as the evangelical right have coalesced around a non-denominational banner in recent decades, but with the SBC political culture still being in charge of the movement. I'd argue this allows for theological mushiness in building the political coalition of the religious right which seems to outweigh their theological beliefs in importance of their self-image. Something for future historians to ponder for sure.
  10. Like what? Push on that shit. Trump is the most immoral man I've ever seen. Abortion, War on Christmas, anti LGBTQ, anti-woke all that fun jazz that is either policy or policy adjacent for the GOP.
  11. Manhattan KS has a pretty impressive radar sig a few minutes ago. I'm not sure if it hit or not.
  12. My wife has to work late tonight so I ordered a shitty pizza and am sitting on the couch to watch Max Velocity's youtube feed this evening. We live in a weird fucking era.
  13. This kid is fun to watch. He's a meterology student in Denton and takes it very seriously. He'll stream all night tonight.
  14. Heading on up to Frisco on Saturday. Lame away game of the year this year after KC last year, but oh well.
  15. Going from Den/Min last night to Orl/Cle today is quite the shift. This feels like an NIT series.
  16. Jesus ANT, 22 years old
